HOLIDAY HELPERS

Ten Recipes to Simplify Life This Holiday Season

Pull out the slow cooker this holiday season to make your life easier—and your meals tastier! Holiday dinners mean all hands on deck, and, oftentimes, they also mean not enough oven space for the many dishes that need to be prepared at the same time. So ease the burden on your oven (and your sanity) by relying on the slow cooker for that special main dish!

In just a few hours, the slow cooker can turn out a moist, tender Herbed Turkey Breast or a gorgeous Cran-Cherry Glazed Ham. Or for something especially festive, Citrus-Glazed Cornish Hens are guaranteed to elicit oohs and ahhs.

There are also delicious, impressive recipes for feeding the masses of house guests that you may find yourself hosting over the holidays. Tickle their taste buds and fill their bellies with savory Holiday Pot Roast. Or wow everyone with a gorgeous Garlic “Roasted” Whole Chicken, complete with root veggies to soak up all of those mouthwatering juices.

And if you’re not sure how to use up leftovers, never fear! Turkey and Wild Rice Soup and Cheesy Potato Soup with Ham will put that excess turkey and ham to good use while simultaneously providing a warm, comforting meal.

So don’t tuck away the slow cooker over the holidays! After all, some of its best work is done when your focus is centered on making memories with loved ones.
